My 10 yr old RD-600 just died, Its connected to power in a very complicated way. Can I simply replace the box with a newer model of the RD-600?

??. It just has an outboard transformer / power supply that needs to be plugged in to a 120 V AC outlet. Maybe you can just use the old power supply in place now assuming it's working properly.

First thing I would try is remove all power from the panel. Disconnect the battery(and check it's voltage as this is the usual culprit), unplug the ribbon cable from the terminal board, reconnect after a few minutes. If the problem persists, replacement may be necessary. Since they've made a few changes (most notably the ribbon cable connector) replacement will require both terminal board and panel. The controller housing and internal parts mounting haven't changed, so replacing with the same model would be fairly easy.

Take your cord or beat box to Best Buy or Radio Shack . They should be able to find a replacement for you.

If your going to power your sub to full capacity, I'd spray the inside with rhino liner to help reinforce the box. It's a good box but to help make it last I'd reinforce it

I would plug the old one back in and try that. It will blink fast with the led but if its getting power then you know that you have a bad unit.

I have an HP computer about two or three years old. A lizard climbed into the power supply and that was the end of the lizard and the power supply. We removed the cover and found the part number. I don't know the difference in the D7R and the D6R, but the one you need will be on the power supply you are replacing. Easy to replace and works great.

My friend who helped me set this up suspected it was not new and it has now died. I'd buy the new model...and make sure it is new!

I'm sorry, I got rid of that unit a few years ago... the power jack came loose. I didn't keep anything.

Hi Gayle - Turn the entire unit until it lines up with the box...drop it in ---seal it and return it to Amazon!!! Order A FOFA XD and walk away its a great unit from Amazon and you don't need power tools to change the battery. Best Regards, Tim S.

I have this box as well . you will run your wiring to the back side of the connector.

I had the same problem and it wound up being the main box being bad. I was outside of the warranty and if I remember it cost $40 for them to replace it. If you are 1 year or under, they will repair or replace it free.

I do not know which RD-900 I replaced, but it was not difficult. The main thing is to remember which wires go where. that is which wires from the valves go to which timer station.

The old box should tell you. If not, google it to get your answer. That's what I would do.

Just email them and they will send you a new one. Good customer service. But I'm on my 3 rd one. I don't think it's a very quality product.

Radio shack carries a replacement. Bring in your old power cord and mach up the plug end that goes into the mount. As long as its the same amperage/voltage you should be ok. This is how i replaced mine and havent had a prob with it yet.

I am not sure what model of First Alert my old one were and I have since recycled them. My old and new models have the identical quick connect plug. I did not have to do anything but replace the base mounting ring and plug in the new unit.

I would go to Radio Shack. They can usually provide a similar or at least a universal replacement.
